Cool motor choice but an automatic transmission?!?!?!? Leaves the rest of the design choices in question!

If you ever find yourself sitting on the side of the hill so steep you can't even stand up, the last thing you want is a manual transmission. I was into rock crawling for a while and no one used anything but automatic transmissions. If you seen someone pull up with a manual transmission you know he was new to the whole rock crawling sport. Try stopping on top of a rock with a manual and taking back off where you can't roll back one inch. It can't be done!
